Default Rocker box covers

If I wanted to change out my rocker box covers to wrinkle black, what would I need? Are there gaskets under them? I would guess there are....is it very difficult or just a few bolts? I know I would have to remove the tank.

you dont have to remove the tank,remove the rear bolt and loosen the front,it will raise to give plenty of clearance. you"ll need gaskets,trq wrench,1/2 in on the tank,7/16 socket for the covers.

Upper Rocker covers are easy, its just a matter of 6 bolts. The lower ones require a little more work. You will need a service manual and be able to find TDC before removing the lower cover. You have to do them one at a time and make sure the push rods spin freely when reinstalling. It can be done without removing the tank but I think the 15 minutes to remove it is worth it.

Need, New gaskets, Torque wrench, dog bone adapter, service manual

right,i wasnt thinking about the lowers. pull the lowers you might as well go ahead and put those cams you"ve been looking at in the j&p cat. you wont have to buy the adjustable pushrods.
